Treasury stock is shares that a company has bought back from the public and kept in its own control rather than retiring them. Think of it like a company holding its own tickets in a drawer: those shares no longer vote or receive dividends while held, but the company can reissue or retire them later; this reduces the number of shares available to outside investors and can boost per‑share earnings and influence ownership and stock price.
